Hello guys,

I got my FreeRunner few weeks ago and since that I'm having fun
discovering it :-)


I had been trying OM, SHR, Debian, Android, QtMoko and decided to stay
with Qtmoko. I have v26,v30 and now v31 installed on several uSD cards
(v31 is in NAND memory).

Although QtMoko seems quite usable for Freerunner, there are still some
points where I'd like to ask you for help. But I'm already using FR with
QtMoko as my primary phone and its doing well :-)

1/ USB Host is not working in v30, v31 (in v26 is). Dmesg says "unable
to enumerate device". I was trying to connect USB flash drive, BT dongle
and USBtoRS232 converter (With PL2??something chip) - all these were
working on v26.

2/ GPRS is working on v30 and v31, great job !! 

3/ Where am I to copy MP3 files to make MediaPlayer see them? I copied
them to /media/card/Documents/audio/mpeg
and /home/root/Documents/audio/mpeg but still didn't see in MP. QMplayer
was able to find them on first scan, but only if there were no further
directories in /home/root/Documents/audio/mpeg. Is there a way how to
tell these programs where are my MP3s stored? 

4/ Does anyone know how to set FreeRunner to play music over bluetooth
audio stream? AFAIR it is called A2DP. Radio in my car is able to play
such stream so I'd like to use it.

5/ I'm going to replace 2.5" audio socket in FR by 3.5" socket -> so I
could connect my headphones directly to FR. Did anyone try so?  

6/ IS there a way how to enter Czech letters using FR keyboard ? ... at
least in Navit? Street names in Navit are using czech letters and I'm
not able to enter their names without having such letters on the
keyboard. 

7/ Can I use MP3 files as ringtones?

8/ Can I install ipk packages to QtMoko?

9/ People I call with are complaining about bad sound quality. Did it
happen to any of you?


Thanks for your time, 

Zbynek, 
Brno, Czech Republic

not sure, make sure you set usb to host most in dev tools, if that's not it 
maybe go to log level 8 and get some more detailed info about what's wrong? 
You can do this in the kernel parameters in /boot/append or in QI just press 

Go to software packages and download the mp3 codec, then execute the file that 
shows up in applications. Suddenly media player will read mp3s in ~/Documents 

You can add debian unstabled repos and see if there is anything there, I would 

Please document if you do this! I've lost the second earphones I got for this 
(kindly given to me by my friend Brolin) and it's a real pain to find 2.5mm 


Not the ones built for SHR.... qtmokos got every debian package so something

Thank you ! Please see my comments inside...


Hrabosh: I pressed the power button (a have v31 on the NAND memory, thus
not able to use /boot/append because Qi is not reading UBI FS .. right?)
and saw kernel messages scrolling down the screen- simmilar to what I
can see when my Linux computer is booting.

USB device (ethernet mode) works fine. If i switch the phone to USB host
mode (by running the script in dev tools), message in kernel log
appears:

[131.660000] s3c2410: changing USB to host
[131.900000] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2

- last line is repeated cca 10 times.

Ethernet mode is then not working (unless I run "USB device mode" from
dev tools), but FR is charging the battery if plugged to the
computer/charger. Devices, connected to FR's USB port, are not working
 
Hrabosh: It works! Thanks! But media player seems not to be able to play
music fluently when phone is in use (reading SMS, using Arora... ) -

Hrabosh: There was such option in some player I had in SHR distribution.
You could choose whether to play using spekares or  BT headset. I'll try

The FreeRunner's USB port can be switched from device to host separately
on the data and power pins, so my guess is that you set its data pins to
host mode but left the power in device mode, which means that the FR
will not provide power via USB but will expect to pull power from it
instead (this is typically used together with a tweaked USB hub powered
from a power brick).
